In recent months the tree roots of the tree outside 19 Murray Avenue have been causing the pavement to lift. This has become worse in recent weeks, it is also causing the front path of 19 Murray Avenue to crack and become distorted.

    As mentioned in my original post our front path has also been affected by the tree roots. Will this be fixed at the same time?

  • If you believe a Council-maintained tree is causing damage to your property you will need to complete a claim form. Bromley currently have a shared Insurance Service with Sutton Council and an online claim form can be completed and submitted via Sutton’s website: https://www.sutton.gov.uk/ info/ 200436/ customer_services/ 1146/ insurance_service/ 2

  • I have registered the damage to our front path as an insurance claim but have not heard anything since other than an acknowledgment.
